Cape Town - Western Province moved into a Currie Cup playoff spot after a convincing win over Griquas at Newlands on Saturday.
The hosts ran in eight tries to claim a 55-27 bonus-point victory.
It was a must-win game for WP following their disappointing loss to the Pumas in Nelspruit last week.
They were under pressure early on when Griquas took a 13-3 lead but relentless pressure eventually told on a game Griquas.
WP led 24-13 at half-time, before taking full control in the second period to avenge their defeat in Kimberley earlier in the competition.
The win saw WP move up to third on the overall Currie Cup standings, three points behind the second-placed Free State Cheetahs.
Griquas, meanwhile, remain rooted to the bottom with just two wins from 10 games.
In next weekend’s action, WP travel to Pretoria to tackle the Blue Bulls (Sunday, October 1 - 14:30), while Griquas host the Free State Cheetahs in Kimberley (Saturday, September 30 - 14:00).
